A few basic steps to learning the pivot turn on a dirt bike, comes in handy when out on hard enduro and you need to get your bike turned in a small space, or just for those times when getting your bike moved into a better position on the trail.

I watched many videos on how to pivot turn. You brought some good tips I have not seen yet. The first one, (and the first I am going to start using), is to have your clutch at the bite point. I have been trying to learn pivot turns, but have always had the clutch pulled in most of the way. Thank You!

I learned how to do pivot turns on a XR 80 first and took it over to the big bike no problem

Yeah, learning on a smaller bike helps a lot, I use a trial bike often to learn new skills, then move it up to the regular bike.

The beginning of a wheelie 😂

Yup, these skills will help you transition to slow wheelies for sure. Since you are learning some clutch control along with covering the rear brake...as well as where the balance point is.

Great simple key points! But what about pivoting to the right? How should it be done differently?

Hi, its the same, just hang your butt cheek off the right side of the seat, but I would say learning left side first is easier, so get comfortable going left, and once you are comfortable with the skill, your reliance on covering the rear brake is not needed.

I’m on holiday in Cyprus next year. Do you supply bike and gear for bike tours. Me and my friend are intermediate riders and would love to do an off road tour. Could you please let me know details and prices. Thanks

Hi, yes I do. We have several bikes, Sherco and Beta. All the kit too. Will you need accomodation? You can email me details as to your dates and how many days you would like to ride, full or part accomodation if you require. info@endurocyprus.eu or whatsapp me on +35799524199

How do you like the suspension?

@ridex-cyprus 7 ай бұрын

For my weight, 72kg's its great, a little on the soft side, which is great for slower technical trails. I don't think the soft suspension would be good if you were tryimg to race hare scrambles and such.

Great tips. But I realize that my KTM has the number plate with lamp quite a bit down over the rear wheel, so to make the bike road legal, and this kind of inhibits the bike from getting the front wheel higher up.
